Synchronizing Assets - Documentation for Track-It! 20.21

You can use Asset Synchronization to define a schedule to synchronize the discovered assets from BMC Client Management (BCM). By synchronizing your assets, you can:

  • Synchronize the discovered assets and their audited information from BCM
  • Initiate an immediate synchronization of assets
  • Schedule asset synchronization to run at a specific time of the day
  • Automatically set the asset owner to the last logged in user of the asset detected by BCM

Note

Synchronizing assets from BCM might synchronize additional fields from BCM that might not be available in Track-It!.

The Asset Synchronization page also provides synchronization details for you to examine such as the last successful synchronization date, the number of new assets discovered, and the number of updated assets since the last synchronization.

When executing a synchronization of assets, you can optionally set the asset owner for each asset.
